A Brave Man Dies With No Media Input!---Tell Me Why This Is Not NEWS Today?
Ed Freeman
You're an 19 year old kid. You're critically wounded, and dying in the jungle in the Ia Drang Valley , 11-14-1965, LZ X-ray, Vietnam . Your infantry unit is outnumbered 8 - 1, and the enemy fire is so intense, from 100 or 200 yards away, that your own Infantry Commander has ordered the MediVac helicopters to stop coming in. You're lying there, listening to the enemy machine guns, and you know you're not getting out. Your family is 1/2 way around the world, 12,000 miles away, and you'll never see them again. As the world starts to fade in and out, you know this is the day.
Then, over the machine gun noise, you faintly hear that sound of a helicopter, and you look up to see an un-armed Huey, but it doesn't seem real, because no Medi-Vac markings are on it.
Ed Freeman is coming for you. He's not Medi-Vac, so it's not his job, but he's flying his Huey down into the machine gun fire, after the Medi-Vacs were ordered not to come.
He's coming anyway.
And he drops it in, and sits there in the machine gun fire, as they load 2 or 3 of you on board.
Then he flies you up and out through the gunfire, to the Doctors and Nurses.
And, he kept coming back.... 13 more times..... And took about 30 of you and your buddies out, who would never have gotten out.
Medal of Honor Recipient, Ed Freeman,died last Wednesday at the age of 80, in Boise , ID ......May God rest his soul.....
I bet you didn't hear about this hero's
passing, but we sure were told a whole
bunch about some Hip-Hop Coward
beating the crap out of his "girlfriend"

Because they are too busy worrying about swine flu and what Sarah Palin's daughter's ex-boyfriend is up to. We didn't hear much about Jack Kemp dying either. Not that he was a war hero like Mr. Freeman in the article, but a decent man all the same. Wonder what will happen when good ole' Uncle Teddy Kennedy finally kicks the bucket? I had a childhood friend die in January from wounds sustained in 2008 when he was fighting on the front lines in Afghanistan. I'd like to thank B.O. once again for making it one of the first things he does to close GITMO and let the terrorists free.

Great story, but the answer is because nobody but us cares and they (the MSM) doesn't.
Our men and women are considered heroes by my Iraqi colleagues, just like in VN. Their young men want to grow up and be just like them as true heroes, and we are losing their parents faith because we will leave them once again soon.
Even my conservative friends think we should pull out because of the media disinformation about the real Iraq! What a shame and a disservice to the young men and women of Iraq that have tasted freedom and have lost love ones for their victory....Ooops, I guess I should not have said that.
BS, the MNF-I was/is victorious!
My right hand man was a tank commander during the Iraq-Iran war and his son is now in the Iraqi Army LT following his father's footsteps, but with a hell of a lot more discipline. LOL
Have faith in the new Iraq in spite of the MSM.

I know I care to know more about this mans life. My Army father was in Vietnam during the war. I've heard plenty of stories, and I would have felt blessed if this man had helped my father in any way. What a man. A true American. He deserves more in way of appreciation and honor.

Roxanne,As your Dad told you,many of us also have stories of our trials under fire,and the brave men who stood side by side with us,and never gave up an inch of ground.But the fact is the Society we live in today isn't interested in the Men and Woman,who showed rock solid character under extreme conditions.I see young girls dressed as prostitutes,and young men who have no direction or manners what soever.That's the way our Society and the entertainment media,along with the Family factor are molding our youth today.God save the USA!!

Dominick, it is so sad to see the country this way. Let us not forget that the men and women who came home from Vietnam were not treated with honor or respect. They were treated as murderers and "baby killers." But it seems people do not learn from their mistakes but rather build on them. I feel I cannot in anyway judge anybody from the military. I don't have a clue what our men and women had to do, but I am sure they didn't WANT to kill other people, they merely were serving and protecting their country and others from evil. I love our military. LOVE. But it just seems there is a carry over from the hippy days of the 60's and 70's, that this brave man who rescued many gets no acknowledgment. Shame, Shame on the media who hasn't covered this courageous story.

Ed Freeman, I wish I would have been able to just set at your feet and listen to you Sir. You are truly a hero in every way, and I thank God for men like you. May you rest in peace.
